Mr. Debnath Shaw Ambassador of India to the Republic of Azerbaijan February 25, 2010 Baku, Azerbaijan Azerbaijan in the World: What do you see as the central core of relations between India and Azerbaijan? Ambassador Shaw: Relations between India and Azerbaijan are time-tested and multi-faceted. The basis for relations between the two countries is the historical, cultural and trade relations between the people of India and Azerbaijan. In the contemporary era, we have established friendly and all-round relations with the 1 Republic of Azerbaijan soon after its independence in 1991 and opened India’s resident diplomatic mission in Baku in 1999. AIW: How have Azerbaijani-Indian relations evolved in the post-Soviet era and how would you describe their current status? Amb. Shaw: In the almost two decades since Azerbaijan’s re-emergence as an independent, vibrant, modernizing and fast developing nation our bilateral ties have been concentrated on establishing direct relations in various fields, in contrast to the indirect relations New Delhi had with Baku, mainly through Moscow, in the Soviet era.

It originally appeared in Russia’s Regnum News Agency at http://regnum.ru/news/fd-abroad/armenia/1428880.html. The second and third sections of Professor Hasanly’s account will be published in the following issues of Azerbaijan in the World. 1 Recently on the Regnum Russian news agency site was placed a series of essays of my landsman and fellow student S.N. Tarasov relative to the recent history of the mountainous portion of Karabakh. In these essays, the author cast doubt on its inclusion with the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (1918-1920). At the same time S.N. Tarasov attempted to recount the unique course of events in connection with the well-known declaration of N. Narimanov of December 1, 1920, and repeated the distorted idea about “the transfer by Stalin” in 1921 of the mountainous part of Karabakh to Azerbaijan.

  • Khojaly Genocide: Million Signatures – One Demand
    Khojaly genocide: million signatures – one demand The heroic and brave sons and daughters of our nation became martyrs in the battles for our land. But the Khojaly tragedy occupies a special place in history. On the one hand, it is the example of devotion of Khojaly residents to their land, nation and Motherland and on the other hand, it is the unprecedented massacre committed by nationalist and barbarian forces of Armenia against Azerbaijan. Therefore, every year, we commemorate the anniversary of Khojaly genocide. HEYDAR ALIYEV - 3 - www.avciya.az Khojaly genocide: million signatures – one demand Preface The genocide of Azerbaijani nation in Khojaly town became one of the most tragic events of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which had been ideologically, politically and military prepared for many years by Armenian nationalist circles and later on, implemented against Azerbaijan. This crime, committed against the humanity by Armenian militants together with the 366th Motorized Regiment of Soviet Army resulted in severe massacre. Hundreds of peaceful citizens were wounded, tortured, missing and taken prisoner. During this criminal operation carried out by professional military units, the fundamental principles of human rights, as well as rules and morality of war were broken. The town was blockaded at night without any notification. According to a punctilious and barbarously worked out plan, false “corridors” were left for the civil population. The militants positioned in ambushes on both sides of the “corridors” shot peaceful and defenseless people at point-blank range. Almost 15 years has passed since the Khojaly slaughter, but unfortunately, this event standing amongst the Holocaust, Songmi and Khatin tragedies and witnessed by foreign journalists, has not been worthy estimated by the international community.
